More quotes by Emily Yoffe
I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.
Emily Yoffe
I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.
Emily Yoffe
The sadness from reading letters that you know you can't help because it's a person who's in extremis and their problems are not soluble by an advice column.
Emily Yoffe
Аs I've mentioned many times, sitting through graduation ceremonies is one of life's drearier milestones.
Emily Yoffe
When people are really drunk they have a propensity to harm themselves and others - they fall off buildings, they drive into other cars.
Emily Yoffe
The world's full of victims and the world's full of terrible perpetrators and I want them identified and caught.
Emily Yoffe
There are some people who do not have a wild past because being wild would make them terribly self-conscious and uncomfortable.
Emily Yoffe
You may think you're married to a woman, but she's really an overgrown child.
Emily Yoffe
The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.
Emily Yoffe
Love is not shown by giving your toddler a car. It's better demonstrated by clapping as she bangs on pots or singing to her while she plays with her cheap little bath toys in the tub.
Emily Yoffe
Sometimes people have a wild past because they have an essentially wild nature, and that's how they plan to go through life. Sometimes such people settle into happy monogamy, and can be content there because they never have to wonder, What did I miss?
Emily Yoffe
As far as types preferring other types, people of the same type can understand each others' perspective very well, but also drive each other crazy because they see their flaws magnified.
Emily Yoffe
Once an affair is over, the cheaters need to agree not to see each other anymore in order to reestablish trust with their spouses.
Emily Yoffe
I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars. It is deeply disturbing that people who should be able to weigh discredited so-called studies instead believe garbage, and so are willing to endanger their children and others. I sincerely hope this madness burns itself out before a lot more people get hurt.
Emily Yoffe
People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..
Emily Yoffe
I'm not suffering from some division of personality.
Emily Yoffe
I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.
Emily Yoffe
The only solution seems to be for government to toughen the vaccination laws and close the loopholes that allow people to opt out for philosophical and so-called religious reasons. The laws need to make clear: no shot, no school.
Emily Yoffe
If you think a caregiver has an active substance abuse problem, that person should never be entrusted with your child.
Emily Yoffe
I think it's helpful for kids to know that their parents weren't perfect, that they messed up and learned from their mistakes. So be open about some of your own struggles or express gratitude that your kids are taking advantage of the opportunities they have instead of squandering many of them, the way you did.
